How incredibly refreshingly badass is it that everryyyyything you want is already out there, looking just as hard for you as you are for it. Take a deep breath, relax, and trust that the second you BELIEVE it will find you, you will find it ✨👊🏼

I used to spend sooooo much time wondering why life was happening to me the way it was. What did I do to deserve XYZ? Then I flipped the switch👌🏼and realized life was happening FOR me, whether I understood it in the moment or not. There is a lesson, there is growth, there is joy and serious gratitude in every experience. Even through the bullshit and the days when it feels like nothing is going right, trust + believe that it’s alllllll serving a greater purpose to bring you exactly where you want to go.✌🏼

Ultra4 ridgecrest race recap:
We started off pushing super hard in qualifying 1st knowing it was going to be a huge advantage to have clean air. Race day came and the game plan changed. We made a plan to keep it cool and preserve the car for the second lap which we were executing perfectly pulling a 10 minute lead over the course of the first lap due to the course just eating cars. We came into the pit for a quick fuel stop when the pits noticed and leak out if on of an oil line just above the driveline. We made the decision to take the time we gained to change it and make it right. Until we seen @sethvandyke come into the pits and realized the tables had turned and we now had to catch up, we pulled out of the pits still in physical 1st when about a half mile out of the pit the line we had replaced exploded loosing all oil pressure. It was just one of those days where the small thing turns major but I cant thank my team enough for doing every thing they could to get me back out on the track, the hustle was real and I'm super thankful for it. See you soon reno.

You can add whatever you please such as potatoes, bacon or green chili to enhance the flavor even more! Delicious and handheld, perfect for on the go.

When you workout, your muscles need time to recover - but sometimes I’m restless.🤷🏻‍♀️
•
If you give these foods a try when you’re feeling sore after a workout - recovery time will be shortened = you’re back in the gym sooner + stronger than before.💪🏻
•
My favorites here are the sweet potato + the broccoli! I snack on raw broccoli everyday - sometimes in my salads or steamed! 🥦
•
Sweet potatoes are perfect post-workout to ensure your muscles are getting the carbs they need to grow + recover!🍠
•
‼️NUTRITION TIP‼️:
Pair sweet potatoes with a source of fat - avocado, eggs, olive oil - to get their maximum nutritional value.👈🏻

Are you willing to take the risk? So many times in life we give up an opportunity in fear of what others will think, who will like us, who will dislike us, opinions of those who don’t pay our bills, don’t live our lives and most importantly don’t help us GROW. Let that sink in for a moment ✨ we are fearful of blossoming into the best version of ourselves because of the fear of growth. We are meant to grow! To change, to be everything and more than we can dream of! Don’t let your own or others beliefs limit you from the growth you deserve 💫

I've learned that I need a vacation after vacation. Anyone else? 🙋 I love getting away, but when it's all over, I need a nap and an entire day to recover. I'm learning that this little man is the SAME way. Extra naps from all the late nights, veggies and fruits to make up for all the diner food, and down time from all the swimming and activities.

Anyone take any fun vacations this summer? We spent some time in the U.P. this weekend and then found a great new vacation spot to bring the family next year! 🙌🙌 How do you unwind (if you need to) after you get home?

Staying active as we age can become more challenging for sure but the longer you wait, the further you let things slide, the more you put things off and make excuses the harder it will be to get momentum going in your favor. These are pics of a few athletes (NOT mine) that are 80yrs old. Felt it may help push a few people on the fence. Age is just a number folks. If you can't do it for yourself, do it for your loved ones. Hollywood Style!!

So grateful to be associated with and mentored by incredible men who are winning in every aspect of life. -

Remember.. someone’s hindsight can be your foresight. Having mentors is almost like having a cheat code to life.

I would be lying if I said that sleeping in a broke down mini motor home was as much fun as I had intended. In fact nothing has gone according to plan, but isn’t that the way it’s supposed to go? Are things like attached floorboards and electricity really necessary to happiness? The answer is no, they are not. I met so many authentic freakin people today. I met strangers with total kindness and I learned things from them. I connected with a man in Lowe’s who has been full time RV’ing for the last 12 years. I was totally honest when I told him, “look, yes this is what I want but no this is not how I envisioned my alternative living fairytale.” He gave me insight. Reminded me what this is really all about. Tonight, snuggled up with my 3 snoring little fur cherubs; I feel bliss. She’s been smudged, she’s been anointed. I’ve got my behind parked on a bench of some sort with a twin mattress over top of it, some engineering at its finest. Since I keep tripping my friends breaker, I’m jotting down ideas by candlelight. My beer is rested on a microwave, despite the fact I haven’t turned a microwave on in years due to a fear of cooking our food electronically... I just happened to inherit it with the purchase of Goldie. Proof that even items and ideas long ago discarded occasionally find a new purpose. And that there is romance in our daily lives, it’s dependent upon whether or not we choose to see it 🔮🚃
